Places I’ve Lived

I grew up in small but mighty, Dover, Delaware and went to college in Virginia. After college, spent a short stint in Brussels before entering finance which brought me to Philadelphia then Dallas. Most recently I moved to sunny St. Pete, FL.

Who I Root For

Philly sports or whichever team playing is more scrappy.

What I Listen To

The full spectrum – it might be shorter to list genres I don’t listen to.

Food & Drink

Home cooked steaks, breakfast tacos, or anything from the Italian Market.

Best Part of My Job

When your role is about introducing new relationships, it’s pretty great knowing that your team will adjust to the needs of advisors and, at every point, will deliver our services with integrity.

Nights & Weekends

Pick up sports and great meals. If it’s competing or eating you can count me in!

Favorite Trips

Lobstering in the Keys, the Blue Hole dive in Belize, eating my way through Thailand.

Enhancing Outcomes

Your job is to help clients meet their goals. Part of that is capturing the compounding power of markets, part is making sure the path matches client expectations. How portfolios get from point A to point B matters.
